The new lock from CISA (part of the Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies Group) is specifically designed for hotels, hostels, student accommodation and other facilities with transient occupancy.

Wave Mode combines different modular and operating elements to give a multiple choice of options, so that locks can be designed to meet any level of security or budget or to complement any architectural style. The lock replaces the need for mechanical locking systems but can, if necessary, have a mechanical override.

The lock is operated with a hand-held smart card, which increases room security and reduces fraud as it cannot be cloned or copied. The card can also be programmed to grant access to or use of other facilities, such as leisure areas or vending machines, as well as providing an audit trail of the last 500 cycles. Remote operation means that mislaid or redundant cards can be easily invalidated.

Wave Mode is suitable for all types of internal and external doors, including integration into automatic doors to facilitate easy access for the disabled. It is fully certified to EN requirements for one-hour fire protection and emergency evacuation (EN 1634).

"Providing our thousands of customers nationally with this new high function, low cost system, again shows our commitment to offer an unrivalled portfolio of leading edge solutions across the full security spectrum" says ADI-Gardiner's access control division product manager Glenn Davies.
